A Missing Tooth Can Lead to Bone Loss - Crestview, FL | Miramar Beach, FL | Niceville, FL

A Missing Tooth Can Lead to Bone Loss

Destin tooth implants

Dental implants from Smileology in Niceville and Miramar Beach support teeth so lifelike, patients have been known to forget some of their teeth aren't real. That's now natural their look and function is.

Those simple facts are enough to make most people choose dental implants if they need to replace one or more of their teeth. Then they learn that in addition to those benefits, implants can actually preserve and promote healthy bone mass in their jaws.

Dental Implants and Bone Loss

An unfortunate consequence of losing teeth is that the surrounding bone begins to atrophy. This begins almost immediately, and is usually noticeable within a year or so. The person's face takes on a shrunken or sagging appearance. The more teeth that are missing, the more pronounced it is.

This happens because of the missing tooth root. But because dental implants are physically attached to the jaw, they mimic the root. The natural biting and chewing motions stimulate the bone and encourage new tissue to grow around the implant.

One dental implant can support one artificial tooth, and several can support a bridge, and even a full dental arch. At Smileology in Niceville and Miramar Beach we have placed them in patients from Destin and Florala AL. They also come to us for general and family dentistry. Contact us today!
